Difficult to even read ABOUT this novella, much less crack it open myself. Thx for sparing me. I’ve coined a word to encapsulate this book: riveting + revolting = rivolting. Ugh.
Some writers seek intense emotion at the heart of their work. This author found it in his own brief prison stay. I guess he had to get it out of his system.
I admire your tenacity in continuing through such difficult reads! Prisons do seem to be depraved institutions that make all involved depraved - guards, inmates, and their families…
Thank you, Srikanth. While I would not have picked these books off of a bookshelf locally, I felt that if they were special to the place I was visiting, I should try to read them.

Ugh indeed and quite ugly but to write so beautifully about the very ugly. How does anyone do that…!?

But this man was in and out of prison all the time, it seems, for saying and writing all the wrong things about the people at the helm😬
Write what you know, etc.
